Macleay, William Sharp. —Born 1792. Died 1865. One of Australia’s great names 
and not known as an ornithologist, but his Quinary Theory dominated Swainson, 
Kaup and others, and these ornithologists produced good work from such a mistaken 
idea. Macleay emigrated to Australia and his son 
Macleay, William John. —Born 1820, died 1891, organised the “ Chevert ” Expedition, 
the bird results being recorded hy Masters (q.v.), who afterwards had charge of the
